Controlling people is wrong!
But controlling how nutritionless fast food is desirable. One of the biggest reasons we over-eat is a lack of nutrition in our food by all the processing that goes on today.

By establishing much higher levels of minimum nutrition in the foods that we can eat, obesity will go away. Don't forget that 40 years ago the obesity problem was nowhere what it is today. The cause is the way our foods are now processed - using techniques that destroy their nutritional value.

RE: Obesity: Can you save people from themselves?
Do we need a carrot or a stick? Surely the real problem is that the
stick tastes better.

Can you save me from all the bloody busy bodies..??!!??
Can you pack your annoying holier-than-thou interferrence in other's lives up your kazoo?

If I want to gorge and turn into a fatbody it's none of your business. If it's a life hazard then rate my life and health insurance higher for the putative exposure. Then go pee up a rope.

This is not the America I knew as a kid. It is not the America defined by the Constitution. It is not the America whose Constitution I swore to uphold and defend. Piss off hippies and fascists. Your good works inevitably lead to all sorts of horrors as the Law of Unintended Consequences comes on in full force (as usual). Tell 'Nanny' to get back on the plane and go back to Europe and good riddance.
